Chapter 260: White Jade Brush Wash

Among them, some crystals appear as extremely fine and short "hairs" or short fibers, similar to the fine milliform iron dust adsorbed by magnets. However, this point needs to be used with a magnifying glass of more than 40 times, carefully observe the glaze of the unearthed ancient porcelain or ancient porcelain pieces to deduce, generally before the early Ming Dynasty, most of the ancient porcelain, with these phenomena.

And the Longquan Pisces Wash that Chu Chen was holding, it was obvious that there were yellowing rust flower crystals on the bowl, so he would immediately know that this thing was an unearthed porcelain. And judging from the specific characteristics of this Longquan Pisces wash, it should be something that has just been unearthed for a long time.

Chu Chen shook his head secretly, this person is also bold, he dares to sell the things that have just been unearthed, and he is not afraid of accidents. However, it was not his turn to take care of this matter for the time being, so he continued to observe the Pisces washing.

Longquan kiln belongs to the southern celadon system, which began in the five dynasties, entered the heyday in the middle and late Southern Song Dynasty, continued to be fired in the Yuan and Ming dynasties, and gradually declined after the middle of the Ming Dynasty. In addition to being used for the court, most of the Longquan kiln products of the Yuan and Ming dynasties were sold to foreign markets as commodities.

This Pisces washes, skimming the mouth, bending the waist and shallow abdomen, and ringing the feet. Wash the inner print of two fish. The whole body is covered with green glaze, the green glaze is elegant, and the tire enamel is thick.

The glaze layer of Longquan in the Southern Song Dynasty is thick, and the glaze color is like jade. The ornamentation is mainly based on simple single-sided carving, exquisite craftsmanship, simple and elegant. There is a small amount of glaze flow and slight opening on the glaze. And this wash just confirms these characteristics, plus some other characteristics, Chu Chen basically believes that this is a Longquan kiln double fish wash in the Southern Song Dynasty.

According to literature, as early as the Southern Song Dynasty more than 800 years ago, Longquan kiln celadon has become the goal of people's pursuit. Renowned at home and abroad.

As evidenced from archaeological excavations, in the country. From the prairie to the southern border of Yunnan, from Longxi to all parts of the coast. Longquan celadon has been unearthed. In foreign countries, from East Asia to South Asia, from Africa to Arab countries, as well as European and American countries, there are also reports of Longquan porcelain unearthed, which shows its large output and wide spread.

In particular, in the major museums of Shijie, there are exquisite collections and displays of Longquan celadon. This is also the reason why a piece of porcelain from a southern kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty of Weishenme will be unearthed in Longxi.

The stall owner waited for Chu Chen to see almost. He smiled and asked, "This brother, what do you think of things, do you like it or not, if you like it, let's negotiate the price." ”

Chu Chen put the Pisces wash in its place, smiled and said, "Boss, the thing is good, but it seems to be a pit, right?" ”

The boss was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then looked at Chu Chen. felt that the person in front of him should not be a policeman, so he smiled and said:

"Little brother, your eyesight is good, it seems that you are also in our business. This thing is indeed a pit, but it's not a heavy weapon, and besides, I also received it with dignity. One didn't steal, two didn't rob, and three didn't smuggle, how big of a deal can this be? ”

Chu Chen smiled when he heard this: "Boss." I do like things, but since it's raw. Then I'll be insensitive. ”

The boss said so, but in my country, reselling 'Shengkeng' cultural relics is an illegal act prohibited by the state.

However, Chu Chen is not a manager, and he can't control this person's behavior, but unless it is a special circumstance, it is definitely impossible for him to buy things from Shengpit. Although he bought something from the pit, even if he was traced, with his identity, there would be no big problem, but by doing so, isn't it supporting tomb robbery in disguise?

The boss listened to Chu Chen's words, but he didn't care, and said with a smile: "Okay, you can take a look." ”

After Chu Chen nodded, he picked and chose to look at it, but it was obvious that selling antiques in the market would not be much better, at least half of them were fakes, but the imitation was not bad, it was a high imitation.

Most of the other half are things from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, and the color is quite ordinary, and they can't get into Chu Chen's eyes at all. There are also a small number of others, although they are still so-so, but they are all some raw pits, of course these Chu Chen will not buy them.

After reading it, Chu Chen shook his head and said, "Boss, if you only have these things, then forget it." ”

"I do have good things, but you ......," said the stall owner with a gesture of money.

Chu Chen smiled and said, "Boss, you also know that today is Sunday, if it is a good thing of dozens of squares, I can't take out so much cash." ”

When the stall owner heard Chu Chen say this, he said with a smile: "Don't worry, it will definitely not be dozens of squares, if I had that kind of good thing, I would have opened a store a long time ago." Let's go, let's find a place to see. ”

Chu Chen nodded and said, "Okay, but let me explain in advance, things can't be pitted." ”

The stall owner put the stall away and said: "Don't worry, things are guaranteed to be handed down, I'm just a little person who doesn't matter, if it's a pit, I only dare to take a few hundred or thousands of goods to earn some pocket money, otherwise I will have to go in." ”

Chu Chen smiled slightly when he heard this, what this person is selling now is really like this, the Longquan Pisces wash just now is the most haode, it can be sold for about 20,000 under normal circumstances, but the edge of the mouth of the Pisces wash is damaged to a considerable extent, and the value is also greatly discounted, and the market is estimated to be around five thousand.

Of course, even Zhao Yiping, who is an appraiser of the museum, will be unexpected behind his back, doing those male thieves and female prostitutes, this person just said this, it is definitely impossible for Chu Chen to believe it completely.

After the stall owner packed up his things, the two discussed the location of the goods.

It's still early, there is no suitable place in the town, and people are in the field, so they should be careful in terms of safety, so Chu Chen proposed to go to the hotel where he stayed to see the goods, and the stall owner was also happy to arrive, so he agreed without thinking too much.

The two talked while walking, and after a while, they came to the hotel where Chu Chen was staying.

From the conversations along the way, Chu Chen also learned that the stall owner's surname was Zheng, and he had come here to visit relatives, and he had been living for half a month, and he had nothing to do, so he went to the villagers' houses to collect some antiques.

But it's too haode things, because of limited funds, he only received two, although there are good and cheap ones, but they are all some raw things, and he doesn't dare to accept them.

The two came to the room where Chu Chen lived, and Boss Zheng didn't have to speak, and when he entered the house, he immediately carefully took out two things from his bag and put them on the table.

"Brother Chu, take a look first, I believe that with your eyesight, you should be able to see that these are all heirlooms."

Boss Zheng took out two things, one is a blue and white floral pattern plate, and the other is a white jade Buddha hand-washed. As soon as these two things blinked, Chu Chen knew that they should be old things, and they were both heirlooms.

For those who are experienced in appreciating antiques, under normal circumstances, a thing is not real, and you can know it by feeling it.

The chemical elements of the enamel and fetal bone of the general genuine porcelain are formed by chemical reactions over a long period of time in the natural environment, and have the physical state and characteristics of historical changes and layers, as well as the strong and simple atmosphere that naturally manifests after the synchronous aging of the fetal glaze.

And this kind of breath, no matter how high the level of the imitator is, it is impossible to imitate it perfectly.

The same is true for whether a piece of porcelain is a work of hand-me-down.

For example, a new kiln porcelain, it will be with the extension of the age, the various minerals in the glaze under the action of physics and chemistry in nature, oxidation and aging year by year, its vitality, energy and strength will also be weakened year by year, the glaze layer begins to age and become old, and the glaze begins to gradually mature and warm.

Generally, except for the phenomenon of loss of light due to unnatural super-strong physical and chemical actions under special circumstances, its age is more or less proportional to the degree of change.

The same is true for identifying whether jade is heirloom or not, and in addition to the different luster, if the jade is a raw pit vessel, there must be traces of entering the soil, which is also clear at a glance.

Chu Chen first took the white jade Buddha pen wash on the table in his hand, this pen wash is white jade texture, the jade texture is delicate and moisturizing, like the fat mutton fat meat that has just been cut, and the luster is like the condensed fat, needless to say, this is the performance of the white jade on haode mutton fat.

This piece of white jade was ingenious by the craftsman, and the whole was carved into the shape of a Buddha's hand. Buddha's hand because of its peculiar shape like a hand, a thousand postures, make people feel interesting, so there is a poem to praise and say: "the fruit is golden and the flower is rich, more blessings and longevity are suitable, the fruit and flower is the only one, and the leader is happy", the name of the Buddha's hand also comes from this.

The center of this device has a round mouth, the digging is fine, the tire is thick and solid, and there is no pattern in the washing light. Wash the outer wall embossed branches and leaves vines, twists and turns clearly, spread to the surface of the jade washer, like natural growth; What's even more ingenious is that there is a chirping cicada lying on the edge of the mouth wash that echoes the Buddha's hand, adding a touch of vividness.

This wash can be described as the wall of the vessel is heavy, the three-dimensional sense is strong, the carving is fine, the depiction is expressive, the composition echoes, it is vivid, the polishing is delicate, it has the atmosphere of the palace jade carving in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the characteristics of the times are obvious, it is a study room furnishings with exquisite design.

And, this brush wash is also equipped with a carefully carved bottom carved wooden seat, this seat is realistic, fresh and elegant, vivid, the composition through the branches and stems, the brush wash is suitable to match with it, and it is more interesting, the whole looks like exuding the pastoral lotus pond fun scene.

Boss Zheng saw Chu Chen put the pen wash back on the table, and hurriedly asked with a smile: "Brother Chu, what do you think of this pen wash?" If you like it, I'm sure you'll be satisfied with the price. ”

Chu Chen smiled and said: "I still like things, but specifically, let me see this blue and white floral pattern plate first, can you see it?" ”

After hearing this, Boss Zheng nodded busily and said, "haodehaode!" (To be continued......)
